Examples:

Expression	Result (default format)	Note
2*(4+3)	14	parenthesis OK
PI	3.141592653589793	see below, case sensitive!!!!!
cos(2*PI)	1	see below for more trig functions (always radians)
a=3;a*a*2	18	variables OK, use semicolons between statements
pow(2,8)	256	raises 2 to the 8th power

Notes:

• All case sensitive
• All trig functions use and yield radians
